I do feel relatively confident I could still get an offer at Mesa (and maybe some other places too, to be fair). Mesa has a base that isn't TOO far but not as close as some others that I have already received the "thanks but no thanks".
Mesa will hire you as long as you have a pulse and are not 64 years and 364 days old. We had a couple of guys who failed out at PSA in our class, both excelled through the training, are doing great at the airline now. But like others have said, definitely apply everywhere, but know that Mesa shouldn’t be an end goal, or else you’ll be miserable, it’s very much a stepping stone. And if you live near DC, you’re golden, everyone gets IAD initially and they have that Aviate program thing which almost guarantees you a spot with United in a couple years.
